Looking for books on Family Coccinellidae

"Coccinellidae of America North of Mexico" is an amazingly detailed 912-page morphologic/taxonomic treatment of the complete family with illustrations and keys to the 475 species known at that time. Since then, infamous and widespread "Harmonia axyridis" arrived on the scene along with a few other imports. For each species, geographic distribution is covered, but nothing on its bionomics.

This is great, sound exactly like what I want.

one problem, where can I buy it. Everywhere I look online says out of print...

Very interested if someone can find it I would buy it :)

so he and I get together fairly often, I will find out if there are any still available.

Would be very appreciative. I am hoping to make this my main area of study. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I actually contacted Robert Gordon many years ago for a spare copy. Not surprisingly, the very few copies he had were only for his personal use or for family members. Shortly thereafter I was lucky to buy the very last copy in stock (was personally told this during telephone order) which I purchased from a clearing house that handled back issues of Journal of New York Entomological Society. That was about seven years ago. To get an original copy now your best bet is to submit your wish list to various out-of-print internet services. Also search www.bookfinder.com periodically. The obvious last resort is to borrow a copy via your local interlibrary loan and photocopy the entire work yourself. University libraries normally won't lend journal issues unless you're faculty or have special permission. However, Gordon's work exists alone as a monograph which fills entire Vol 93, No. 1 so it might be easier to obtain. Good luck.
